Power Window testing made easy! I'll show you how to easily test a power window switch with no tools! On facebook at: / diagnosticderreck On twitter at: / diagderreck
Awesome Derek...i think i already knew the switch was the culprit because i changed both the motor and switch on my Monte Carlo a few years back. Now i have to familiarize myself with this Buick Lacrosse i have with the Master power window problem. Already checked the fuses under the hood, the wire between door and interior panel are all intact and now i just have the switch in my hand and tried your trick so im certain its the switch now. (The test light doesnt light up when im holding it to the wires)Appreciate your video! Thanks!
sO, are you saying that iF my power windows aren't working, as well as my interior lights.. then that's an indication that somewhere along the lines, the circuit is broke.. & it's actually One issue that needs to be found & fixed.. & NoT 2 separate issues???
Hey Derek what if the switches for the passenger power window on the driver AND passenger sides do not dim the map lights? Also when probing for power at the connector of the passenger window. One of the two wires flashes power when activating the switch, BUT the other wire shows constant power on the test light. Constant power when flicking the light either way and when the switch is not being pressed? Please advise
Isn't that fancy! Love the trick! Know exactly what you're talking about - the slight dim. I think there's many other things I could diagnose using this trick...
Clever trick! Thanks, Diagnostic Derreck!
Thanks Derreck, that was a helpful trick!

Great hack! Thanks bud.
FUCKING. GENIUS. with the map light test. Thank you!
Nice trick!
Ahhh finally a nice logical easy test... thanks
I try this thing I see on your video in What happens if it works for all the windows switch but not work with one

I have a 4 door and master switch controls all but driver rear.
Passengers do not individually work
Thank you
I LOVE YOU!
Did u quit? You could have a good channel Derrek!

Do what everyone else does just sell them both the motor and regulator.

Isn't not ain't
@@thelegendkillersshittyduff1335 when is it appropriate to use "ain't", anyway! LOL
